Do you know how cool it is to make a friend throughour blogworld? Not only admiring the work theydo on their blog and leaving meaningful praise and snideprivate jokes in each other's comment box, but gazillionsof emails exchanged for months on end?Getting to know pretty much their entire life story...and, they yours? Yeah, like that.You mention many times that you hope someday to meetin person, but reality tells you the chance is probably slim.But...sometimes you do get the chance to meet and that blog friend isreally the same (even better) in person as you have beenimagining all those months, well... wow... just wow.

Sunday was a wonderful day. I got to meet Aspergantus andMrs. Aspergantus in person.We met for lunch at a great little restaurant on the beach...Snack Jack's. Great food, great service, great view.

But, it was the company that made the day. Wonderful people.Fun, funny, uber-smart, talented and simply all other kinds of good.Sweet.This needs to be repeated, many times, on a regular basis. Please.
